And here's the match on sky.....talking about arsenal and Liverpool. And it looks like Quinn is on the commentary, today. Fucking sky wankers.

Please someone tell me I'm not going to have to listen to Niall fucking Quinn again for this game.

I would never have imagined that. We all know he'll be loving this thread as Rayvin suggests, wont you CT?

Errr, em, err......

Had a few enjoyable pints with PaddockLad yesterday whom I had't seen since the last derby at the Stade de Shite. He must have lost at least a stone if not more, almost svelte looking. Almost.

I'm a boycoutter too, doesn't ease the derby day tensions unfortunately.

I'm fucking dreading this game to be honest.

(Land of hope of glory) We've got Michael Owen, (Yes I'm cringing) They've got Johnathon Stead, We've got Alan Shearer They've got Deeeeean Whitehead!

Our greatest away day? Hard to say, Think it's a toss up between the San Siro, De Kuip or when we bossed The Old Etonians in 1884. Aye it's Old Etonians game for me, like.

Aye, Gustavo, sunshine, there has to be some reason. Love the publicity, city and airport excuses too.

Thought he looked as good in his own centre half position as the likes of Clarkie, Watson and Robbie Elliott looked in their respective roles. I either must have had CT goggles on or he just let himself down somewhere down the line?

Daniel 'the wolfman' Cordone

'That Brazilian bloke?' Fucking hell, man! We've got Mirandinha! He's not from Argentina! He's from Brazil, He's fucking brill. Was fucking average really, but had a powerful shot on him and was a good penalty taker. Ball greedy to the extreme. But he played for Brazil at Wembley and scored not long before he signed so he was exotic and could do no wrong to this young supporters eyes.

Membership only for aways is still scandalous, particularly if you can only go to the odd game.

HR is the management in reality, you'll get fuck all from them, in fact they tend to be worse than the actual shift managers who take their direction from senior HR and above. Get your union involved as shite as you think they are. If needs be get him told about the whole episode in detail and that you're not coming in at all and wont accept anything else than your holiday. Although Gemmill is right, you shouldn't have argued with them in the first place, you should've TOLD them it had been agreed, arrangements were in place and you wouldn't be in on the 2nd. In other words, politely told them to fuck off.

I never realised you knew PaddockLad!

Mick Lowes, man. 'two bad results don't wipe out two good months'. Err, Michael, two good months don't cancel out seven fucking abortion of months either, mind.

How the fuck does he manage so many heavy defeats? I can never remember a time where we've suffered so many heavy defeats in a two/three year period.
